Stories In Flight

An ongoing exploration

Stories In Flight contains experiments around storytelling and new technologies. Many of the things here will be
very rough, often barely-finished prototypes and the occasional failed attempt. New items will be added whenever I can get a few of my
brain cells to rub together before falling asleep, so better not hold your breath...

Older Projects

FlickrPoet
An experiment to visualize short texts with images pulled from a text search on Flickr. Results tend to fluctuate wildly between
random and deeply meaningful. Works best with poems and song lyrics, but feel free to experiment!

#haiku
An ambient website mashup of Twitter and Flickr
which resulted out of the work on FlickrPoet - this app will search Twitter for recent tweets with the #haiku hashtag
and will then visualize them by doing a text search on Flickr. Click and relax...

HTML5 Audio and JavaScript Control
The new audio tag allows for simple sound integration into pages. With generated audio objects it is now also possible to create complex soundscapes for games in JavaScript.

HTML5 Audio Data API - Spectrum Visualizer
The experimental audio data API allows to access raw audio data and a processed FFT spectrum of the currently playing music through the HTML5 audio tag. Here is a small
demo of the visualization potential.

HTML5 Web Audio API - Spectrum Visualizer
The Web Audio API is currently a standards proposal which has only been implemented in patched versions of Safari and Chrome - here is a version of the Spectrum Visualizer for this API.
